Liverpool ONE will transform into a winter wonderland this Christmas with new decorations and festivities announced, including a brand-new giant 30-metre tree, special ‘Wishmas’ celebrations, curling and the return of some festive favourites.
At Chavasse Park, an exciting new concept – 'Stone's Throw Social' – will offer some competitive Christmas fun, with eight ice-free curling lanes, six karaoke huts and two shuffleboard tables. The new leisure experience opens on 3rd October and will run until 3rd January 2027, with packages and pre-booking available, as well as walk-ins on the day.
From Friday 6th November, Liverpool ONE will unveil stunning new decorations set to bring a little extra sparkle to their existing Christmas lights scheme. The centrepiece will be an impressive new 30-metre Christmas tree at Paradise Place, giving guests the chance to walk through the middle of the tree for the first time.
New Christmas decorations also include a twinkling light canopy at Peter’s Lane and Keys Court, a dazzling light curtain at the Church Street and Keys Court entrance and a light drape and super-sized suspended bauble at Peter’s Square.
Some of the Liverpool ONE festive favourites will also be making their 2026 return, including the bauble arch, reindeer, and angel wings, offering plenty of photo opportunities to make Christmas memories with family and friends.
The much-loved Christmas Toy Parade will return to Liverpool ONE on Saturday 14th November, in collaboration with Walk The Plank, bringing dancing toys, festive characters and Santa parading across Liverpool ONE. ‘Festive Thursdays’ will also return, with free live entertainment throughout December, as well as a series of Christmas choir performances from local charities and community groups.
For the very first time, Liverpool ONE will host a special 'Wishmas' event on Saturday 5th December, with the chance to win prizes and enjoy free festive entertainment. The all-day event will be hosted by presenters Jay Hynd and Gemma Cutting.
Brendan Hattam, Centre Director at Liverpool ONE, said:
At Liverpool ONE, Christmas is always a special time and this year it will be even more so. From our brand-new Christmas decorations to the return of our well-loved Toy Parade, we are very excited to bring guests together to feel a bit of Christmas magic in our centre, especially with the arrival of Stone's Throw Social. There will definitely be something for everyone to enjoy this winter.
Marty Finney, Creative Director at Stone’s Throw Social, said: “At Stone's Throw Social, we believe the best times are the ones you talk about afterwards. That's why we're bringing ice-free curling, karaoke, shuffleboard, great food and drinks to Chavasse Park at Liverpool ONE from October to January, creating this winter's most social get-together. A place for colleagues, friends and families to come together, enjoy a little friendly competition and make memories that last long after the night ends.
Extended shopping hours will run from Monday 14th December to Wednesday 23rd December.
